By harmoniously blending traditional craftsmanship of Chinese joinery with innovative technology, the cabinet fronts are finished in crafted wooden door panels.  The form of these iconic cement wind blocks found in Hong Kong reveal the textures of the motif, paying homage to the city’s architectural heritage.  A square opening is centred at the cabinet front, teasing you with a glimpse of what is stored beyond.  

The design not only captures the essence of old Hong Kong, but also embraces circular and sustainable solutions at the same time.  Partnering with Cycle Core, the shell of the cabinet is fabricated using a upcycled artificial stone technology. By incorporating recycled glass donated by the HK Tram company into this material, this piece of furniture truly embraces the spirit of Hong Kong both aesthetically and materially.

Eugenia Yiu (Co-Founder, Bill's Design Limited)

Eugenia Yiu is an interior designer based in Hong Kong. Trained as an architect, she co-founded Bill’s Design Limited in 2014. Primarily focused on private residential interiors, the studio has also been developing a complementary portfolio of commercial and hospitality projects.

The approach of the studio’s design ethos is to create spaces that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional and reflective of each of their clients’ unique stories. Eugenia starts each project by building an empathic connection with the user that will eventually interact with her designs. Significant inspiration also stems from Eugenia’s appreciation of the timeless aspects of modernist architecture. This strong influence allows the studio to blend timeless design principles with contemporary needs, resulting in spaces that feel both classic and fresh.

Every element in a space contributes to its overall character and atmosphere, and the importance of the choice of materials used is also crucial in their storytelling. Through their travels, the studio is in constant search for inspiration and one-of-a-kind antique pieces that enhances each project. The studio is constantly exploring for new materials and building technologies, finding a balance where innovation intersects with tradition in design.
